Answer:
100 teragrams of nitrogen per year
Explanation:
Nitrogen fixation in Earth's ecosystems is defined as a process where by nitrogen in air is transformed into ammonia or other related nitrogenous compounds. Generally, atmospheric nitrogen is referred to as molecular dinitrogen and it is a nonreactive compound that is metabolically useless to all but a few microorganisms. This process is vital to life due to the fact that inorganic nitrogen compounds are needed for the biosynthesis of amino acids, protein, and all other nitrogen-containing organic compounds. Thus, the natural rate of nitrogen fixation in Earth's ecosystems is 100 tetragrams of nitrogen per year.
Carbohydrates are substances that are found in foods such as bread and pasta, which provide the body with heat and energy. Chemically, carbohydrates are made of three kinds of elements namely carbon , hydrogen and oxygen.
Carbohydrates are separated into two main categories, simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates.
Simple carbohydrates are those that contain one or two sugar molecules linked together. Complex carbohydrates are those that contain three or more sugar molecules linked together. In some cases these chains can contain hundreds of sugar molecules.

The process by which rocks are broken down to form soil is called weathering. It is divided into 3 types, physical, chemical and biological weathering.
Physical weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down as a result of physical agitations. It is also called mechanical weathering and during this process the chemical nature of the rock is not affected. Biological weathering has to do with the weakening of rocks and their eventual disintegration as a result of plants and animals activities. Chemical weathering refers to the disintegration of the rock particles as a result of chemical reactions.
